Congratulations! I use that test with my Civics class, and of course they all fail abysmally, despite being born and bred here.

Oh. My. God. I haven't seen any of those in years. Talk about a flashback to the 60's.

The watchdog press has our backs, informing all enlightened citizens. There's just no way an actual contender for public office could get away with “a newspaper says that I may actually be subject to the laws of the country in which I was born" and not get jeered into obscurity.

You should try them on the <a href="http:\/\/www.uscis.gov\/portal\/site\/uscis\/menuitem.d72b75bdf98917853423754f526e0aa0\/\?vgnextoid=afd6618bfe12f210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&amp\;vgnextchannel=afd6618bfe12f210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD" target="_blank">U.S. Naturalization Test</a>. I have a hunch they'd actually do better than the Canadian test.

Sadly, no. <blockquote>Dual citizenship is not recognized. Therefore, when a foreign citizenship is acquired, the Cuban one will be lost.</blockquote>

However, Rafael Edward Cruz can reclaim his Cuban citizenship by renouncing his Canadian and U.S. citizenships. He renounced Canadian so he's halfway to Havana!

You'll need to sit a spell and let me splain to how this whole not abortshuned deal works,with folks what want to be prezeedent.I swear to Babby Jeebus's Daddy true tale from this here feller in West By God Furjenny he splained it this way at one of them thar 4th of July cellybrashuns.He telled every one it made him no never mind that the Obummer was birthed in Hahwhyer he could still not be prezeedent because any soul with the brain the sized of a pea ought to know that Hahwhyer just becomed a part of the union bout 3 years afore Obummer was birthed so that means they had not got done servin their prohabition time (5 years) so they was not full union members thus Obummer was illigetitimate,on top of that Hahwhyer had not paid thems union dues the year Obummer was birthed and everybody knows what be done to you if you dont pay your union dues, you cant be a member so Obummer cant be prezeedent.He learned this in his schoolin years plus his peepaw told him.So I'd say this Cruz feller been as how he is a Kenyanadian cant be prezeedent Of West By God Furjenny him ownself
